Ailee Grateful Crying at Melon Music Award

Even after leaving the 2013 Melon Music Awards, Ailee uncontrollably shed tears.

On November 14, Ailee attended the 2013 Melon Music Awards at the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium in Olympic Park. It was her first official activity in Korea after returning from her Japanese promotions on November 13.
During her performance with Shin Seung Hoon, she was overwhelmed with emotion and became teary eyed. Once she stepped up to receive her Top 10 awards, all the tears she was trying to hold in burst out, as 10,000 fans in the audience began chanting her name aloud and telling her not to cry.

“I want to say I love you and thank you to all the people and fans who have supported and loved me no matter what happened,” said Ailee in a shaky voice.

It’s said that the tears continued even after Ailee came down from the stage and until she returned home after the conclusion of the award ceremony.

“After Ailee started crying on the stage, all the tears that she’s been holding back burst. She couldn’t control her tears even on her way home,” said Ailee’s agency. “I think all the hardship she held in her heart exploded. All the support from so many people moved her heart.”

Ailee plans to take a short break following the 2013 Melon Music Awards. Her agency stated, “She will be taking a rest. We don’t have anything specially planned out for her and she needs a time to rest her body and heart.”

The agency rep said that if any official activities are scheduled, she will perform them as normal.
